For the first time ever players finally get to create their own characters and live out their magical fantasies, visiting the iconic Hogwarts Castle and its surroundings, including the quaint little town of Hogsmeade and Forbidden Forest.

Set in the 1800s, the game promises a true depiction of Hogwarts inspired by both film and literature.

That was all set to change this year, with the advent of a new Wizarding World-inspired RPG by Avalanche Studios, many hoped to finally get a chance to start their first virtual day of school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year. The novels and onscreen adaptions have amassed a cult following over the years, and although we’ve gotten a few acceptable movie tie-in games since the glory days of the original PlayStation, franchise titles have increasingly disappointed Potterheads with every new release. Hogwarts Legacy was on top of many a wish-list for the upcoming holiday season, though much to our dismay the game based on the Harry Potter universe will be delayed until next year.
